Saying No to Crack

Jane Jayroe has heard just about every butt-related pun under the sun in the last few weeks, and is getting a little tired of it. “You might come up with another one, but I can’t imagine it,” she tells Shoptalk wearily. “I’ve been privileged to hear some pretty creative language.”

The press corps, it’s true, has been sounding off happily ever since Jayroe’s Oklahoma tourism office allowed an ad to be printed in one of its guides that shows a man bending over a little too far next to the line “Is your free time not all it’s cracked up to be?” The ad, touting the attractions of Oklahoma City, appeared on the inside back cover of the guide.
